Swim Lesson Registration Guidelines
What you need to know before you register your child for swim lessons.
To help provide fair access to swim lessons, participants may enroll for only ONE swimming lesson set per season and must meet the required prerequisites for their selected swim level.
If you are unsure about your swim level, contact us to arrange a swim assessment to ensure you are enrolling in the correct level.
The SCRD reserves the right to withdraw participants who register for swim lessons without meeting the guidelines. Once a customer is withdrawn, it is final.
